A woman was charged with a felony and several misdemeanors on Sunday after crashing into an officer while appearing intoxicated with children in her car.

Cadarius Davis, 32, hit an officer squad car with her vehicle at Overton Park Avenue and North McLean Boulevard while the officer conducted traffic control for Memphis, Light, Gas and Water workers who were fixing storm damage.

Officers responded to the help call at just at approximately 12:15 a.m. The officer was stuck inside the car after being hit on the driver side by the front end of Davis' Chevrolet Equinox, according to the affidavit.

Both vehicles were totaled.

Memphis Fire Department Unit 11 extracted the officer and exported him to Regional One Medical Center in critical condition. The officer was diagnosed with a concussion, fractured pelvis and fractured tailbone.

Officers arrested Davis after noticing signs of apparent intoxication. A field sobriety test and blood draw were performed on the scene. According to the affidavit, officers noticed an empty whiskey bottle on the passenger seat.

Davis was exported to Regional One for medical clearance before booking and processing at Jail East.

A two-year-old and three-year-old were in the vehicle at the time of the crash. Both were transported to LeBonheur Hospital.

Davis was charged with driving under the influence, vehicular assault, non-violent child abuse, reckless driving, public intoxication, financial responsibility law and failure to exercise due care.
